If you wikipedia R34 gtr it goes through the variants and what the differences are, Nur has the N1 motor with different cams and a few other mods plus paint and some goodies. The M spec is a more a softy with "ripple control suspension" .

Thanks but what I'd like to know is the turbo? Stock gtr or the steel ones just as the N1s.

Also, wiki doesnt say its the same motor as N1, which is why I asked that question. It says "based" so its really just saying similiar. Maybe the NURs owner can clarify this with VIN?

The Nür model featured an improved RB26DETT based on the N1 racing engine, used by Nismo in Motorsports.

what is it that one would expect to be the difference between a V-Spec II and a V-Spec II Nur? I ask as I don't know and I'm admittedly hoping that you'll collectively pardon my laziness and someone will take 2 minutes to type 3 lines to explain!?

there is a big difference between the VspecII and the VspecII Nur.

VspecII is not much different from a Vspec or even non vspec. they have uprated suspension, rear diffuser and a few very minor tweaks.

the NUR however has:

carbon bonnet

R34 N1 engine (has N1 block, N1 pistons, hand built, full balanced, N1 cams, N1 oil and water pumps, and yes it has N1 turbos)

very rare (heaps of VSII's many less Nur's)

all Nur's are 2002 models

there are some other differences but the biggie is the engine and the exclusivity of it.

Thank you kind Sir again. What would the stock engine be capable of handling in terms of power output before going forged internals?

you mean the stock N1/Nur engine? they are quite happy with 550-600hp providing you do the supporting cooling and driveline mods in a street car and occasional track day car. If it's going to be an all out track car on slicks or new semis then I'd lower that limit down to around 500hp to help keep it alive.

as long as temps, oil surge, and tune are managed properly 600hp for an N1 engine is a snap. As long as it's not detonating the pistons will last as will everything else. up to around 350rwkw is the sweet spot. Once you get much past that you will have spent so much on other bits (driveline, brakes, suspension, engine accessories, turbos etc) that you might as well do a forged build and dry sump it (if it's a track car). in serious GTR the $10K spent on a basic rebuild is just a drop in the ocean, money wise.

but yeah, there is no inherent design flaws in the engine components that limit the power. it's more a matter of having adequate cooling, oil supply and good tuning.

to sumarise:

street/track-day = 600hp

dedicated race car = 550hp

but of course with the right gear you could have one making 1000hp but any hint of DET or cooling problems would see it end fairly quickly. :(

Clear and precise. Exactly what I'm after, thank you.

The reason for asking is because everyone's been telling me the block itself is good more than a 1000hp but never got around knowing what is the limit of the stock engine itself (this come to my mind when people go on about how the 2jz are capable of high hp without engine mods when comparing to rb26).

As you've mentioned, most owners of N1/NUR I know or read of would run their car stock to around 300-350rwkw (above 20psi) because thats what the whole stock car is capable of without really having the need of any supporting mods (e.g. clutch, fuel etc) but anything more you'll be looking at upgrading the fuel system at the very least.

And really to me, to mod the N1/NUR to the extend of forged internal or even turbo defeats the purpose of having that car (even for putting a/c on mine I've already got people telling me the same thing...). Anyway the factory oil cooler is a very nice to have and I'm sure there no real need in upgrading that too.

Unfortunately R34's never came with a factory oil cooler, unless you have the Pommie model :)

Hey? I thought N1 oil cooler's a standard factory item for N1s? Or you're saying the NURs doesnt have them?

Hey Kristian. Any web sites you can recommend for info and specs on N1's /Nur's

Good Luck Kimbod!

Recently I had seen quite a few R34 N1s for sale ... currently I am also hunting for a Nur ... the Last one that got sold in Auction was back in Feb ...

Let me know if you come across any :P

Hey l180sxl. Mate I got a v spec N1[ 2000] 29000kms, one owner and log books . and hopefully it should be here soon. she is beautiful. Just like specs and details on things . we were top bidders on a number of cars , M spec, N1's and others, but below reserve

How many R34 N1's were made? :blush:

lol I've been wondering the same thing lately given how many seem to be coming through auction!

I know you already know the answer, but:

45 V-Spec N1s, 12 of which were track-only, most of the rest were purchased for road use/modification by race teams anyway. Mines obviously had one, so did TRIAL at some point.

To the best of my knowledge, 18 V-Spec II N1s were built, 3 of which, ironically, reside in Australia.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I neglected to respond to this previously. Get it up to 100 psi, and then you'll be OK.

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
